Sole of shoe, open channel. Thread loose//ripped due to normal walking. Is this okay? Or should I superglue it down?

Do you happen to have flat feet? I actually have the very same issue on a pair of Enzo Bonafe chukka boots, the problem for my pair seems to be the volume in the lacing area is too much, so I have to tie them a bit tighter than normal. I think if I added a pad or an additional insole it would correct the problem.
Not shoe care per se, but can anyone tell me what is causing these creases in my AE Strands? These pictures are of the interior edges of the shoes right at the balls of the feet:
I'm pretty sure some good quality cream/wax to match that color (rioja it looks like?) will cover that up and will hardly be noticeable.
^ It is all "hanger appeal". What looks good sells, doesn't mean it is better.
I will put some conditioner like Lexol, or Obenauf's Leather Oil on my soles only if they happen to get wet and soaked, otherwise anything to soften the soles will make them wear faster.
I do however polishing the sole in the arch area that doesn't touch the ground. I have pegged waists on my St. Crispin's (along with my initials pegged because I am a prick like that) and it keeps it looking nice and shiny.
I assume you are talking about the C&J video Munky was referencing? I like that video, as it's very hypnotizing, with the classical music playing in the background. But, I agree that he seems to use a lot of product. The product on the soles was brought up the other day, and some of us chimed in that we don't do that, but none of the real experts ever said anything.
